The College complies with and supports the Uniformed Services Employment and
Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA). USERRA applies to persons who perform duty
in the "uniformed services" including service in the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, as
well as the reserve components of each of these services. Uniformed Service
includes active duty, active duty for training, inactive duty for training (such
as drills), and initial active duty training, as well as the period for which
a person is absent from a position of employment for the purpose of an examination
to determine fitness to perform any such duty. If you are a member of the armed
services or become a member you should inform the Executive Director of Human
Resources so your rights under USERRA and the College's policies and procedures
are handled appropriately in the event you need to be away from work for military
service.

Notice of Military Service

Any employee entering any category of training or military service must
provide advance written notification to their immediate supervisor and
the Executive Director of Human resources that they will be leaving their
job for military training or service, unless giving such notice is impossible
or is precluded by some military necessity. The cumulative length of absence
for any employee taking military leaves may not exceed five years.

Re-Employment Rights

An employee whose military service is from one to thirty days must return
to work at the beginning of their next regularly scheduled work period
on the first full day after release from service (taking into account
safe travel home plus an eight-hour rest period.) An employee who has
served more than thirty days but fewer than 180 days must submit an application
for re-employment within 14 days of his or her release from military service.
An employee who has served more than 180 days must make an application
for re-employment and submit it within 90 days after completing military
service. Any re-employment application may be in writing or oral, but
must clearly indicate that the person is seeking to return to work after
their service in the military. If an employee is discharged under other
than honorable conditions, he or she will not be entitled to re-employment
rights.
